Abstract
Herein, we present a case of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) in a 59-year-old woman. It presented with painless itchy, black, gradually enlarged patches which were easily bled under her left eye since three years ago. Dermatological examination of the left medial canthus region obtained hyperpigmented plaques (2x0.8x0.1cm) with uneven skin texture, irregular borders, and erosion on the center of the lesion. We performed forehead flap technique surgery followed by eight-month monitoring, resulting in a satisfying outcome in both function and appearance. The thinning technique and adjusting the flap size from the forehead area to the medial canthus should be as thin as possible to avoid differences in skin thickness and post-reconstruction hypertrophic scars. A bulging appears on the surgical site a month after the procedure, known as Trap Door Phenomenon. But, on the 8th month of follow-up, the trap drop phenomenon disappeared.
